Trauma & Orthopaedics Training at DGT
The Trauma & Orthopaedic Programme at Dartford & Gravesham NHS Trust allows trainees to develop skills in line with the curricula, which are competency based, whilst being well supported by the multi-professional team.
Learning and service commitment are dependent on the grade of the trainee and during the trainee’s time at Darent Valley support is offered from the Programme Lead, Surgical College Tutor and allocated Educational and Clinical Supervisors, all of whom will give regular feedback about progress.
Foundation Year Two Trainees
F2s are encouraged to work alongside and in a similar fashion to CT colleagues. They are responsible for attendance at the OrthoGeriatrcian’s ward rounds with Dr Colin Weekes. This is an excellent teaching / business ward round providing a wealth of experience and exposure to the specialty.
